Set on approximately 14 acres near Joseph Phelps Winery, 480 Taplin Road is a Cape Cod-inspired estate designed for entertaining and multi-generational living. The main residence, detached carriage and pool houses provide 7,900 sq ft of conditioned space surrounding a heritage black oak. Interiors showcase wide‑plank floors, a sunken living room with fireplace, formal dining room, a chef's kitchen with marble counters, Thermador range and Sub‑Zero appliances, and a primary suite with dual closets and spa bath. A residential elevator serves all levels, including a 4,700‑bottle wine cellar, and an upstairs bonus room with an en suite guest room and two offices (one currently staged as a bedroom). The carriage house offers two en‑suite bedrooms and a kitchenette; the pool pavilion features a full kitchen, changing room, outdoor shower, and half bath beside a heated infinity‑edge pool and spa. Fruit trees, gardens, multiple terraces, bocce court, solar, two wells and extensive infrastructure complete the offering. This is a Napa Valley retreat that gracefully balances comfort, elegance and resort‑style amenities, just eight minutes from downtown St. Helena.
